You notice how the folks who complain about Citizens United and how awful big money is for the American political system, never, ever mention that Obama turned down public financing in 2008. He then proceeded to raise $750M, dwarfing not only the money McCain had, but also dwarfing the amount of money raised by any previous campaign.

But, we all know that the $750M came from widows & orphans, so it was okay.

I can't find links. But in primary 2008 this was a big topic. There were no checks on Obama's website for collecting credit card donations, it could come from anywhere and everywhere and whoever and whatever the limit. People wrote about it then and even demonstrated it with screen shots. Googling I can't find any links to those stories.

They were pretty much suppressed by the media but there is supposed to be a big expose' Monday coming out by a magazine. This is all illegal by campaign finance law. A Romney DoJ might be a lot more interested in prosecution.

The problem they have is they are basing the campaign on a characterization of Romney which has been shown not to be true. Not about what Obama will do, since we already know, already know that won't work.

President Obama's reelection campaign, rattled by his Wednesday night debate performance, could be in for even worse news. According to knowledgeable sources, a national magazine and a national web site are preparing a blockbuster donor scandal story.

Sources told Secrets that the Obama campaign has been trying to block the story. But a key source said it plans to publish the story Friday or, more likely, Monday.

According to the sources, a taxpayer watchdog group conducted a nine-month investigation into presidential and congressional fundraising and has uncovered thousands of cases of credit card solicitations and donations to Obama and Capitol Hill, allegedly from unsecure accounts, and many from overseas. That might be a violation of federal election laws.

The Obama campaign has received hundreds of millions in small dollar donations, many via credit card donations through their website. On Thursday, the campaign announced a record September donor haul of $150 million.

At the end of the 2008 presidential campaign, the Obama-Biden effort was hit with a similar scandal. At the time, the Washington Post reported that the Obama campaign let donors use "largely untraceable prepaid credit cards that could potentially be used to evade limits on how much an individual is legally allowed to give or to mask a contributor's identity."

And this Obama guy is the one everybody in 2008 expected to clean up Washington. What a joke! We alerted everybody in primary 2008 but nobody cared. After umpteen trillions dollars in debt and economy in shambles and 4 years gone wasted with no proactive action to bring back any growth, people still have not woken up. Just really sad.

Obama campaign just released their September numbers raised over 181 million, almost a record....

WTF do republicans, conservatives not give money, they want Romney to win , they know that a Obama second term will cement America decline...

But the welfare takers and liberals are more willing to put their money to get Obama elected...what wrong with conservatives in America how is Romney going to win, when Obama has the media propagandizing for him, more money then Romney and republicans and the incumbacy he doesn't pay to fly all over the country , security for rallies, free media, and the ability to all the other dirty tricks, unemployment numbers, telling defense contractors to not tell their workers about their job loses.

Shit would you people open your wallets... Because when your taxed to shiz to pay for Obamacare and all the massive spending and debt in Obama second term with higher gas. And food and worst healthcare... They maybe you might wonder why you didn't volunteer or donate to elect Republicans.

I'm not certain but it's possible some embarrassing group gave money to Hillary and she had to vow to give it back. In past elections I remember saying that if it were me I wouldn't vow to give money back to embarrassing groups, I'd just say too bad for them if they think they get something for it.

That hasn't happened this time around has it?

Has the media decided not to watch donations because it's not a story anymore? Or do they just want cover for not noticing where Obama's "small donations" come from?

All anyone needs is a credit card number. Any credit card number. YOUR credit card number, say. All the checks and safeties have been turned off. Like last time. So when you had your card to the waitstaff, someone that has found the true One writes it down. Then they go to a public internet connection like a library and lake a donation with your money. They do it in Europe with vacation travelers. No correct address needed. No validation codes or expiration date. Oh, sure, if you spot it and complain the card issuer will give it back. But most don't check or think that their spouse or kids did it and let it go. The people taking a dump on a squad car are running the country. They spit on you and laugh. And you vote for their leaders.

Republicans and conservatives have this distressing quality know as ethics. They might even be called "law abiding." Obama donors are well know for bundling thousands of illegal small donations to avoid the disclosure rules.

There was a story from 2008 about a wealthy guy whose name was used to donate $175,000 to Obama in amounts less than $200 each. Of course, Holder's DoJ is uninterested in such stories. Romney's might be,

Clint nailed it above. Remember what O's first priority was upon taking office? Remember how much of that stimulus money couldn't be accounted for? (Am I misremembering, or was it Elizabeth Warren who just couldn't figure out where all that money went?) Does anybody think that was too early for Team O to be laying re-election plans?
